{"product_id":"17446-alfred-seiland","title":"Alfred Seiland","description":"Alfred Seiland (*1952 in St. Michael\/Styria) has been visiting ancient sites around the Mediterranean for many years, capturing them with his analogue large-format camera. His focus is on the ruins of the entire Roman Empire, whether in Egypt, Libya, Israel, or Italy, and in museums from Spain to Turkey. Many of his subjects are difficult-to-access, even private places, which usually remain hidden from tourists. Seiland's photographs confront the viewer with subjects that illuminate the conflict between antiquity and modernity. They show famous historical sites with their architecture, sculptures, and other artworks. Seiland condenses moments into perfect compositions, using color like a painter. Nevertheless, his pictures are sometimes unsettling, as they repeatedly tell of the destruction that people inflict on ancient heritage.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibitions: Römisch Germanisches Museum, Cologne 8.11.2013–30.3.2014 | Musée national d'histoire et d'art, Luxembourg 10.10.2014–15.2.2015 | And further venues","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-3699-2)","offer_id":45171482460424,"sku":"9783775736992","price":29.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/a8f24aa9294fcc5d0d22fa9f1f4c2673_b2b6c581-1838-453f-b409-f41440d84016.png?v=1724921478","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17446-alfred-seiland","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
